Plaid Cymru Senedd Member Rhun ap Iorwerth has announced he will stand to replace Adam Price as leader.
Adam Price stepped down earlier this month after a damning report into the toxic culture within the party. For the past three weeks no candidate has said they will run as leader, though both Elin Jones and Heledd Fychan have ruled themselves out as prospective leaders.
Mr ap Iorwerth was widely seen as one of the leading contenders to replace Adam Price having come second to him in the last leadership election. However he had previously indicated that he planned to run as the Plaid candidate for Ynys Mon in the next General Election which would have mean he is ineligible to be party leader as Plaid rules state that the leader must be a member of the Senedd.
